Well I came home last night from my weekend o-hounding in Wyoming. I found a lot of material. A lot of variety, lots of color. I tell you, Wyoming is crazy for rocks, every place I went it looked as though no one had ever picked up a rock - a fact I know is not true, some of these areas have been hounded and had tons hauled away from, but there is so much rock that it is covering the landscape and constantly being eroded and uncovered. Any how, my first post will be for some wood I found. I am only showing 2 of the larger pieces, the rest are smaller. These 2, however, also have opal! The first piece has a good piece of opal on the end by my thumb. This larger piece has veins of opal running throughout (has a gray-blue color in this pic) More pics and reports to come!

not sure!!
I want to, but these are the only opal-anything that I have!? Not sure, I will wait for now... Maybe if I go back and get more opalized wood.

That's another check on your bucket list. That opal looks pretty neat. Never ran into it myself. Keep us posted in case you decide to perform some creative destruction on that limb. Inquiring minds would like to know.
